Pros

The interface is super easy, setup is quick and simple. I'm not sure why this was necessary, but had me scratching my head for a while!

Nearly £350 is a lot to spend on a router, but if the cost isn't a concern, just pick one up and don't worry about buying another router for a few years. This shows tp-link can do so much more with the browser settings where the user is pretty restric...  Read More

The parental controls are great, being able to set a schedule to allow the internet to any device at anytime on the network helps massively. Screw holes for wall mounting are convenient, and i've mounted this near to the middle of the ground floor of ...  Read More



Cons

Smartconnect tries to offer'smart' features but shields the user from the configuration detail to the degree that it's very frustrating. While this is fast and works flawlessly on the 2, its either very slow of just cuts out.

Competitiveness


I combine with tplink powerline to create a seamless flow around our large house.


So far a doddle to set up and wifi coverage amazing.
